Just speaking in terms of episode duscae, the empire's robot guys and their transports teeter a bit close to sci-fi, at least to me.
But overall I'd definitely call it fantasy.
The main city that main characters are from is basically Tokyo.

I hate this reasoning so much. I've never seen a more tired arguement than this nonsense. Does gta not provide escapism? Nothing set in the modern world that pulls you into a narrative gives a sense of escapism? That rhetoric is lazy and cheap excuse to just complain.Too contemporary. I play games for escapism, not to be reminded of the shitty morning commute to work.
XV isn't even the most futuristic Final Fantasy
Is this the first ever pseudo-contemporary setting FF? I really like it.I hate this reasoning so much. I've never seen a more tired arguement than this nonsense. Does gta not provide escapism?

Wow @ the second shot. Xenoblade X has better environment textures than that.
Eh? The top shot has a nice visual style and we've seen plenty of footage from the game with more distinct visual style (Lucis with its Tokyo x gothic art style, Altissia with its super-over-the-top fantasy-Venice style, Lestallum with its Cuba-ish look, the scene with the red sky etc.). The driving shot is a bit generic, but the situation still looks pretty and has a nice sense of place in the video.For me personally the game has that yucky "tech-demo" look to it. Like the lighting is fairly realistic, shadows are very dark and the overall coloring has no stylization to it at all. It doesn't help that all the characters are semi-realistic and sport all black clothing. There's nothing interesting going on in the screens except the promise of a large game world.
It's the least distinct Final Fantasy where visual style goes. (I guess that's their goal too).
Its ridiculous bro. It makes me feel like an apologist even though i have serious qualms with a lot of aspects of the game.FFXV threads seem to attract a carnival of stupid every single time on this forum. This thread is clearly no exception.

Just imagine seeing epic dinosaurs and flying ships off an otherwise mundane coastal road is something.

I'm really not seeing what the problem with the textures is.
Tbh. Like if all they'd shown of FFXIII was Pulse, over and over, it would be the same thing.I'm hoping future trailers/screen shots focus more on areas like this:
Just to get away from peoples comments about everything being empty/boring/plain.
Marketing has been a problem in fueling those comments though of course, they focused on a rather empty Duscae for months and months.
Not worried myself, FF games are always well rounded with variety in terms of art direction, we just haven't seen a lot of variety in the last months, sadly.

What on Earth?
FFXIII had subway lines in the air and hovercraft type vehicles, gravity manipulation devices (that Lightning used), time travel devices (in XIII-2). FFX was set years after an advanced civilization went into ruin but there was advanced tech around.
FFVIII even had spaceships and an entire futuristic city hidden behind a cloak shield (Esthar). XV isn't even the most futuristic Final Fantasy.
Have some of you even played this series?
Screen shots I see of FFXV usually have these 4 guys in them. Is there no females in this game? We've come to expect some female representation in FF games from the past.

FFXV isn't pure high fantasy though. It's mainly contemporary mixed with sci-fi fantasy.
Still just see 4 dorkwads in black driving around a boring landscape. Where's the fantasy?
There are no females in the main party.
I saw only parts of the ATR, looking for footage of the game, but while I hear they talking about the fact that you can stop and get out of the car fondamentally everywhere I don't think they ever talked about a swimming option ( in the Duscae demo there isn't one but a lot of mechanics are still missing there). Have they ever did?Well your gut feeling is wrong. You'd know if you watched the ATR.

Looks cool! The concept is so interesting.
Has this been announced for PC? I'm not sure when I will be buying my PS4.

I have to say, that first screen is pretty. The second one, though? Not so much. I'm tired of seeing those silly roads with railing on the sides. It feels like bowling with bumpers. It just looks dumb.
This game's been teased for just about an entire decade, as a self described fan of FF, some of us might actually benefit from your blackout technique.Screen shots I see of FFXV usually have these 4 guys in them.

Textures look awful.
also official HQ version of the driving trailer : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUmFz-GsvW0&feature=youtu.be
Foliage doesn't look good from a distance.
Not feeling the more 'open' aspects of this game at all. Still preferable to the corridor funneling of XIII sure, but eh, I'd rather have a balance than one of the two extremes.
Those railings serve a real life purpose, y'know.

Nice job that you are literally riding a expensive car and driving along the beach coast and killing monsters on the way.
